Chapter 780 - The Third Wheel (1/2)

He said that, but in his heart, he was mainly afraid of Qin Haodong’s medical skills. Qin Haodong could even remove the venom of the krait in an instant. Maybe Qin Haodong could really cure this virus, and then he would lose all the credit.

So he made up his mind that he could not let Qin Haodong go near those patients.

Sun Bowei was unconvinced and said, “You’re abusing your power. Since the Ministry of Health wants us to join this team, we have the right to treat any patients.”

Zhuo Bufan sneered and said, “You’d better not do anything. What if the grass, roots and barks that have never been tested by any scientific means cause a virus mutation in the patient’s body? Will you bear the responsibility?”

“I…”

Sun Bowei still wanted to say something, but Sun Fengqing stopped him by signaling with his eyes.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Well, since you are so confident, we will not participate then. It’s not easy for us to come here. Let’s take it as a free trip and go out and have fun.”

After that, he did not argue anymore and directly brought Su Hui out of the tent.

As Kathaway was not a member of the key team, she did not attend this meeting, nor did she attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation. She just sat at the door and waited quietly. When she saw Qin Haodong and the others coming out, she immediately went up to them.

“Qin, how did your discussion go? When will you help these patients relieve their pain with your magical medical skills?”

Qin Haodong said, “Mr. Zhuo Bufan is in charge of the treatment. He has developed a new treatment plan. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”

After that, he turned his head and said to Li Laogen, “Mr. Li, is there anything interesting to do around here?”

Li Laogen said, “There’s a place called Peacock Bay in the south of the country. The scenery there is good. There are mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. We’ll go there when it’s our rest day.”

“Thank you. We will go over there and have a look.”

Qin Haodong said as he pulled Su Hui toward the south.

Kathaway quickly caught up with him and said, “Qin, what are you going to do? Your most important responsibility now is not to go sightseeing. You should treat those patients.”

Qin Haodong stopped and said to the persistent girl, “Miss Kathaway, I’ve told you that Mr. Zhuo Bufan will be in charge of the treatment.”

There was a flash of confusion on her beautiful face. “But why didn’t you do your best with such good medical skills?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to do my best, but I can’t.” Qin Haodong said, “Miss Kathaway, you know too little about Huaxia. If you really find a boyfriend in Huaxia in the future, maybe you will understand what I mean.”

Kathaway asked, “Where are you going now?”

“Didn’t you just hear that we were going to Peacock Bay to do some sightseeing?”

Kathaway said excitedly, “Can you take me with you? I want to go with you.”

Qin Haodong glanced at her and asked, “Miss Kathaway, who taught you Huaxia language?”

“I’ve always been very interested in Huaxia. When I was in college, I took the Huaxia language as an optional course. What do you think? Am I good at that?”

Qin Haodong did not answer her. Instead, he asked, “Do you know what a bulb means?”

“That’s too simple. Of course I know.” After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed at the 200-watt light lamp in front of the head of the countryside government. “That’s a bulb.”

“Miss Kathaway, that is not the only bulb. You’re a bulb as well.”

After that, Qin Haodong took Su Hui’s hand and strode toward the south, leaving Kathaway with a confused look on her face. She did not understand what he meant.

After a while, she came to her senses and walked toward Zhuo Bufan, who was walking out of the tent.

“Mr. Zhuo, I have a question, when will you be treating those patients?”

“Miss Kathaway, you don’t have to worry. Today, you will definitely witness the miracle of us curing these patients.”

Kathaway asked, “But I heard that there are no effective drugs for treating this virus at present. How will you treat these patients?”

Zhuo Bufan said proudly, “I have already some special medicine from M Country’s scientific research center. I will be able to cure the disease as soon as the medicine is delivered.”

“When we cure these patients, we need you to report it to the whole world.”

Kathaway asked again, “But I saw that Qin has left. Isn’t he going to take part in your treatment?”

Zhuo Bufan said, “He is a Chinese medicine practitioner. Traditional Chinese medicine has no good method of treating this virus, so our treatment doesn’t need his presence at all.”

Kathaway nodded again. She seemed to understand what Qin Haodong meant just now.

On a huge rock in front of the gate of the countryside government, Sun Fengqing and his grandson were sitting there.

“Grandpa, this kind of disease is really weird. I’ve never heard of anyone who doesn’t eat or drink and yet can become more and more powerful.”

Sun Fengqing looked into the distance with a calm expression. “I have never seen such a disease in all the years of my life, let alone you.”

“Then do you think Zhuo Bufan and the others can really cure these villagers?”

Sun Fengqing said, “Who knows? Maybe he can, maybe he can’t.”

Sun Bowei said, “I don’t think they are good enough.”

Sun Fengqing glanced at his grandson and asked, “Why?”
